THE PROXY BRIDE (ENGLISH VERSION)

“HOW are you feeling now, Sherry, you are getting married soon?”

She sighed before answering her friend’s question. “I’m not sure, Mica,” her voice was sad or she didn’t feel like she was going to get married soon.

Mica looked at her carefully. ” Why do not you know? I think you are the bride-to-be who is not happy with this upcoming wedding. ” Yeah, she can sense her friend’s feelings and she knows her very well. They have been friends for a long time.

“My feelings are divided, Mica. And I’m confused! ” She bowed.

Mica raised her friend’s face. “Look at me.” She looked at her. ” Are you confused? What do you mean, Sherry? ”

“Mica, because… I feel like I’m not happy about marrying Edward.”

“What? Everything was in Edward’s, Sherry, so what else are you looking for in him? He still loves you very much. Don’t be… stupid. When you leave him, you are more than stupid, you are crazy too! ” Mica had an annoyed expression.

“Yes, but… I feel more happy with Felix.” Sherry’s eyes can see the brightness when she calls the man’s name.

“What? My goodness, Sherry! You two still have a relationship; it’s like you’re fooling Edward with that, ah. And he has nothing to do with your fiancé! ” She was even more annoyed.

“Because they are different, Mica.” She smiled slightly.

“Different? Where, Sherry? Are they both men? ”

Sherry looked at her best friend before answering.

“Don’t look at me like that, Sherry. I need your answer.”

“In bed, Mica,” she answered.

“What was just in bed?” She also stared at his friend.

“I am happier when we are having love making with Felix and Mica. He gives me satisfaction when he is with me in bed.”

Mica shook her head. “How about, Edward?”

“Well, he’s good too, but… you know what I mean, Mica?”

“I don’t know about you, Sherry. You’re already in a soft bed, and then you want to move to the mat.”

“That’s why I said I don’t know, I’m really confused. I know if Edward is the one I’m with, my life will be good with him; he’s kind and he was wealthy.” But money isn’t a problem; I have my own savings.

“You know, why do you have to destroy it, Sherry?” You do have money. But Felix’s question is, “Does it also have that, huh?”

Sherry avoided looking at her friend. “I can’t think straight, Mica,” she interrupted, changing the course of their conversation.

Mica shook her head. Even though she didn’t know Felix well, she knew he was handsome, but Edward was more handsome than her. But of course, like her friend says, he’s good in bed. Yes, sex makes you crazy. This is all I can tell you, Sherry, as your friend, choose what you feel and what your heart wants. I hope you choose the right one, Sherry, so you won’t regret it in the end. I believe in that saying, regret always comes last. Remember that even if he’s a good person, if you make him angry, he will become a demon. Mica, referring to Edward.

“Thank you for the good advice, Mica. If Felix is my choice, I know he hates me to the heavens. But I wish he would meet a woman he would love more. And for him to forgive me. ”

“Do you think, Sherry, that everything is that easy? You will hurt Edward. But whatever you decide, I’m here, Sherry, as your friend. “She just said it because she has no right to protest if her decision was to go to the other man, not Edward, because she’s just her friend.

“My friend you are really good to me,” she said with a smile.

They were in that conversation when Sherry’s cellphone rang. She immediately took it.

“Who?”

“Edward, Mica, just wait. I’ll just answer his call.”

“Okay.”

“Hello, honey!”

“Hello, honey. How’s your day? ”

“It’s fine, honey.” She looked at her friend.

“Where are you now, honey?”

“At my home, honey.”

“That’s good. I’ll go over there now, honey.”

“Honey, don’t you have to work now?”

“There is, but it’s not important, so I’ll drop by your place now I’m on the way.” I’ll be at your place any moment, honey, but if you’re busy, it’s okay. I won’t be there anymore. ”

Sherry looked at her friend again.

“I’m going now. Mica stoops up and says in hushed tones.

Sherry nodded her head at this. Mica leaves immediately because she knew that Edward was coming from the way her friend looked at her.

“Honey, are you still there?” Edward asked his fiance because suddenly she quit.

“Oh yes, honey, I’m here.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“So, can I come or not, honey?”

“Of course honey, you can. I’m not busy anyway. ”

“Okay, actually I’m already in the parking area of your condominium, honey.”

“Oh, okay honey, I’ll just wait for you here.”

“Bye, honey, see you in a minute,” Edward answered and turned off the mobile.

Sherry sighed deeply. She doesn’t want to see her fiance if she is the one to follow. And she wanted Felix to be with her.

“Rosanna, you have a call on the phone,” shouted the manager of the restaurant where she worked.

“Sir, who is it?”

“Your sister, she said it’s an emergency,” he replied.

Rossana ran into his office. and took the phone to her manager. Before she answered, “Thank you, sir,” she said.

The manager modded but starred at her. Like he said, talk to her faster.

“Hello, Rosemary, what happened?” She immediately asked her sister.

“Sister, our mother, she lost consciousness earlier. Our neighbors helped us to take her to the hospital.” She cries.

“It’s okay, Rosemary, stay at the hospital and look after our mother first because I can’t leave yet because there are still many customers right now.”

“But Sister, I don’t know what I’m going to do now. We’re so scared. I was just called here at the nurse station. Come and see us here now, can you?” Her voice was shaking.

“Alright, I’m going to say goodbye to my boss first, huh.” She looked at the boss, who had looked at her. And it’s like he wouldn’t agree with what she was going to say.

“Hurry up, sister, please.”

“Yes, bye,” she said when she got off the phone. “Sir-,” she said as soon as the boss answered.

“It’s not possible, Rossana,” he said immediately.

“But sir, it’s an emergency; my sister needs me,” she insisted.

“You’re also needed here, and your workday isn’t over yet,” he shooed her away.

But Rossana couldn’t stand her sister  to be alone at the hospital right now because she was still young, so she decided.

“I’m leaving now, sir, because my family needs me more.”

“All right, Rossana. Leave but remember this: there’s no going back once you’re out!” It’s a threat from her boss.

Rossana stared at her boss. “If that’s what you want, sir, it’s okay now to give me my last salary.” Yeah, even though she lost her job now, the most important thing is her family because she knows no one can help them.

The boss immediately took the money and gave her salary.

She took it and left without saying goodbye to her boss.

The boss just looked at Rossana, who came out. “I know you’ll come back here, Rossana, but it’s hard to find a job now,” he said.

Sherry stood up immediately when someone rang the doorbell and she knew it was Edward.

When he opened the door, she was immediately greeted with a kiss from him. But Sherry immediately moved her lips away.

“Just wait, come in first, honey.” She simply pushed him.

“Hmmm,” Edward just murmured, and once again captured her lips.

“Edward, wait, what are you doing?” She walked towards the couch. It’s like you haven’t seen me in a long time. We just hung out last night.

Edward followed her. “I miss you right away, honey,” He first pulled her towards him and hugged her. “I’m really excited about our upcoming wedding, so I can hug and kiss you like this every day.” He captured her lips again.

Sherry left him, so he couldn’t say anything.

Why do I feel this way? It’s not my fault that this is happening to me and Edward. Like I don’t have a feeling or I don’t love him anymore. Sherry said to herself.

Edward pulled her towards the couch. He sat down first and held her in his arms.

“Edward, what are you going to do?” Sherry pretended to ask him. But she knows what he wants to do.

His hands began to move all over the place. And his palm is looking for something. When he found what he wanted, he took off the hook of her bra. And he immediately lifted up her blouse. His lips moved fast, covering one Sherry breast.

“Hmmm,” Edward muttered, sounding like a child at that moment.

Sherry wanted to stop what Edward did to her because she was not in the mood having a lovemaking. But she didn’t do it because he might be offended. Even though she wasn’t in the mood, she insisted on accompanying him.

“Honey, take off your shorts?” Edward ordered her.

She stood up first and took off her shorts, including her underwear. Edward unbuckled his belt and lowered his pants slightly and pulled her towards her thigh again.

At that point, Edward was about to release the heat from his body.

In just a few minutes, they are done. So Sherry compares Felix to her boyfriend. Felix did everything to make her happy. The kind that will have him roaring hard with a chase gasp factor. She knows Edward can do that too, but like this, he’s the only one who realizes the agony of pleasure.

“Honey, please forgive me. You know I’m a busy person. When we get married, I will get back to you completely, I promise!” Edward said.

Sherry smiled. “Don’t say sorry, honey. Yes, I understand you.” But deep inside her, she was not happy anymore.

I love you so much, because you always understand me. I need to go now, honey. I have a meeting before three o’clock.”

“Okay, be careful when you drive!”

When Edward fixed himself, he immediately headed for the door and Sherry followed her fiancee.

“Bye, honey. Oh, by the way, join me for dinner tonight. ” He said before he got out of the door.

“Honey, can it be another day? We always eat outside, right?” Sherry refused.

“Well, that’s what you want, honey. It’s okay another day. Bye.”

“Bye,” she said but before Edward left the door. He gave her a kiss on the lips, and after the kiss ended, he immediately left.

When Sherry closed the door, she leaned against it.

“You’ve always been like that, Edward. How can it be that if we’re married, every time we make love there’s always a rush? I don’t want that,” she sighed deeply. She was already decided. “I need to choose my happiness,” she told herself.

“Sister, Rossana.” Is your mother’s illness serious? “What did the doctor say to you?”

“Yes, Rosemary. “My mother needs to have surgery soon.”

“Sister, where are we going to get the money for our mother operation?”

Rossana looked up at the ceiling. Even she doesn’t know where to get that much money. ” I don’t know either, Rosemary, but I’ll think about where to get it. I can do it,” she said to her sister.

“Sister, is it from your boss? You can borrow money from him. How much is needed for your mother’s surgery?”

“One hundred thousand,” her sister replied.

Rosemary’s eyes widened at what she heard from her sister. “What? My gosh, sister, where do you get such a large amount? ”

“The important thing is to get Mom operated on as soon as possible, Rosemary,” she said sadly as she hugged her brother.

Rosemary’s sister sat next to Rossana and hugged them too.

“Sister, why is our life like this? We are already poor, and we are suffering even more. I thought that God is very unfair!” She said tearfully.

“Psst, Rosemary. Don’t say that. He’s not unfair. He only strengthens us as far as we can go with each of his tests. Don’t think that’s okay? Even if we are poor, always think positively. ” She held her sister’s head and caressed it. She looked at her two siblings. She just signed off, silenced. The truth is she wanted to cry, but she didn’t want to show her sister that she was crying. She had to be brave for them.

“Sister, how long will this test last?” When we die? Tears have flowed from Rosemary. She just cannot control herself to say such a thing because of their condition now.

“We can, Rosemary. Just pray. Don’t emote. I know what you feel. Smile please,” she said to her sister with a smile.

“Sister, I’m smiling, oh,” the brother said.

“Good boy, Rowel,” she said.

When Rossana remembered their father, Oh, Rosemary, where is he? Why can’t you see him here? ” She refers to their father.

“He said earlier that he was going to look for money.”

“Huh? Where is he going to look if no one is lending him money? ”

“I don’t know, he just said we stay here and wait for you.”

“Oh, our father, we already have a problem; he might add to it,” she said, but she was still concerned about where her father was now.

“Probably, sister, he’s our headache too,” the sister echoed.

They were having that conversation when the police came towards them where they were sitting.

Rossana was suddenly nervous when she saw them, not even sure yet if they were looking for

“Sister, here is another problem to come,” Rosemary whispered to her.

“Are you Rossana Luna?” The policeman asked as he approached them.

“O—yes, sir, is there a problem?” She answered shakily.

“Come with us now, as well.”

Rossana was shocked by what the police said. “Huh? Why, sir? What’s my fault? ” She wondered what violation she had committed.

“You are not your father, in prison now?”

The siblings looked at the police because of what he said.

“My gosh, I already said that, eh?” Rosemary sighed.

“Alright, sir, I’ll come with you. Rosemary, stay here, don’t go anywhere, be okay, and take care of him too,” Rossana said.

“Yes, sister, what else?” she answered.

Immediately, Rossana went with the police. “It’s really my father. He didn’t do anything right. It’s just a problem,” Rossana said to herself as she got into the police patrol car.
